Framingham Farmers Market! Every Thursday until October 8th!

In 2025, the Framingham Farmers Market, one of Massachusetts’ largest markets, welcomed up to 90 vendors weekly, featuring food trucks, local farms, fish and meat vendors, bakeries, and artisans from across the Commonwealth. To balance out the shopping experience, the market included live music by local artists and children’s activities.

As the only market in the state to offer free vendor booth space, the market reflects the City of Framingham’s commitment to supporting small businesses while providing residents with access to fresh, locally made, and handmade products. In 2025 we hosted over 31,250 customers.

We are excited for another amazing season at the Farmers Market and hope to see you there!!!

MetroWest Health Foundation - Survey

The MetroWest Health Foundation just launched its 2026 Community Health Assessment (CHA)! The 10-minute anonymous survey can be accessed online by using this link: https://hria.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9XOgskoaq7Ask5g or this link: https://bit.ly/2026MWsurvey After clicking the link, respondents can choose which language they prefer (English, Spanish, or Portuguese).

They are seeking responses from 25 municipalities in the Metrowest region:

  • Ashland, Bellingham, Dover, Framingham, Franklin, Holliston, Hopedale, Hopkinton, Hudson, Marlborough, Medfield, Medway, Mendon, Milford, Millis, Natick, Needham, Norfolk, Northborough, Sherborn, Southborough, Sudbury, Wayland, Wellesley, Westborough

As you know, the information collected through these assessments will help inform future health programming, resource allocation, and community health improvement efforts throughout the region. 

Please share this survey and the outreach materials with all your partners and providers throughout the MetroWest communities. Broad participation is needed to ensure that the assessment reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of residents across the region. To support outreach efforts, the Foundation has developed a communications toolkit that includes survey links, social media graphics, sample messaging, flyers, and other promotional materials: https://mwhealth.org/stories/cha2026-resources

Your support will help ensure that local voices are heard and represented in the region's health planning process.

If you have any questions or would like additional materials, please don't hesitate to reach out to Kate Baker (cc’d) who is leading this project for the Foundation.
